Interaction With Parents

At Owlets we truly believe that parents are a child’s most important learning resource and that parents know their child best. With this in mind we strive to build close working relationships with each child’s carers, in order to ensure each child gets a personal and unique caring and learning experience tailored to their needs.. We ensure that we talk to our parents daily on arrival and at collection time. We share home/school diaries and encourage parents to choose a book from our library to share with their child. We have a daily notice board which informs of group time activites. Each key-worker sends home a home/school learning suggestion linked to their child’s learning on a regular basis. All parents are asked to complete a short booklet that informs us of their child’s interests, fears, how they like to be comforted etc. Parents are encouraged to add to their child’s learning journey and help to set next steps in learning through termly parental consultations. Many of our parents love to help on nursery trips and all parents are encouraged to help and support in the setting by whatever means is suitable to them.
